1997 Map of North Kansas City

About this map

The Missouri River and Kansas River define the industrial and transport heart of this late-20th-century landscape, where the North Kansas City corporate boundary meets a complex network of levees and bridges. The map reveals a densely developed corridor stretching from the Kansas City Downtown Airport north through Gladstone and Gashland. This area is characterized by a mix of established residential pockets like Oakwood Park and Winnwood Gardens alongside major infrastructure such as the Fairfax Bridge and the Chouteau Bridge. Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous burial grounds documented, including Barry Cem, White Chapel Mem Gardens, and the Oak Grove Cem. Cultural and natural landmarks such as Maple Woods Community College and the Maple Woods State Conservation Area provide clear reference points within the expanding suburban fabric of Clay County.
